Course Description: Knowledge makes things interesting! WasteWater Technology Trainers (WWTT) will be conducting a three-day training class for wastewater treatment plant operations personnel. The following subjects will be covered: Day 1—primary clarification and anaerobic digestion, Day 2—activated sludge aeration basins, and Day 3—activated sludge secondary clarification. The science behind each of the processes covered will be presented in detail. With this scientific foundation, attendees will be better prepared to optimize the operation of the City’s wastewater treatment facilities. While different people define “optimization” differently, it basically boils down to giving the City’s ratepayers the biggest bang for their treatment buck
